I've forwarded it to two folks I think might be able to help.  If I
hear anything back from them, I'll forward it to the list.

Well, postfix probably ignores all of the sasl config commands if it's
not enabled.  I suspect if you had smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = no it
would likewise work without errors.  There's something with SASL
itself, or a misconfiguration on the SASL components.

One last thing.  Can you tell me what the permissions of
/var/lib/sasl/sasl.db are?  If they aren't mode 644, can you chmod it
and restart saslauthd and postfix and see if that helps?

Check the permissions... that's about all I can think of right now...
